They beg you with pop-ups every 10 seconds. You used to be able to just swipe and swipe but now they have so many cash grab gimmicks they keep wanting you to do I don’t even know what all of them are called. You’re swiping then it’s like “but do you want to super like them??” And you might accidentally do it because you’re just swiping. And then you’ve spent one of your supers which you have less than you used to. Then it tells you to boost for money with a pop up and tells you it’s prime time with a pop up and tells you to do some night out thing. Honestly it’s a lot and it’s intrusive. Then this “secret admirer” thing pops up that you cannot skip and is the dumbest thing ever. Gives you 4 mystery people that have liked you (that you haven’t liked) and you tap on one of them to reveal who it is. Why? If I didn’t swipe on them why do I care.. It’s disruptive and takes forever to load and it’s never anyone I’m interested in and there’s no point picking a card because you don’t have any who it is so it doesn’t matter what you tap on. It’s constant dumb things like that. You used to just swipe on who you like and the simplicity was what made it successful but then they got scared because of competitors. Not to mention I don’t match with ANY interesting or attractive people. And the conversations are SO dull. That’s when you even HAVE one. Most matches do NOT speak to you. So the whole thing is a waste pretty much. I think people just got tired of it and lots of competitive apps started popping up. Tinder is dead. It used to be awesome.
Created a new account today. I had used tinder before, but deleted my account years ago. I recently moved to a new city, and I decided I would try Tinder again to make some new friends and maybe go on a date or two. Upon creating my profile, I was immediately prompted to “verify” my account with selfies. I did as requested, and was told my account was under review and it would only take a few minutes. Well, it has been over 6 hours now and my account has not exited this so called “review.” Before I could even swipe on a single person, I have been effectively locked out of my account. Attempts to contact support have been absolutely fruitless. It’s like nobody even cares about the issue I’m having at all.
Maybe don’t tell people that this so called “review” will only take a few minutes if you are going to effectively lock people out of their accounts without reason. I did not even get a chance to view a single profile before this happened, so I know there is no way I could have possibly violated any terms of service, unless simply creating a profile is somehow a violation.
Don’t waste your time with this app, it’s clear they don’t actually care about their users whatsoever.
So figured this one out. Over the pass couple of weeks I’ve been trying to crate an account and keep getting the same messages staten that my number is banned for life and there’s nothing I can do about it. So I contacted them to try and find out why and I get we can’t help and etc. now here’s the funny part I’ve never used this app in my life because I never needed a dating app before now. So I tired to tell them this a couple of times and they don’t wanna listen and they won’t even give me any info on the matter either. I don’t know what else to do but is now ridiculous. I can also prove that my number and my email address is mine and etc.
So in my eyes this app is a joke and don’t protect your information on here and don’t check to see if that’s really the person or not. Because I have never tried to or made an account with tinder in my 33yrs old this earth.
So who ever is reading this I wouldn’t download this app because the same thing can happen to you and they won’t even do anything about it.
AGAIN THIS APP LETS PEOPLE GET YOUR INFO OR USED YOUR INFO WITHOUT CHECKING TO MAKE SURE ITS THAT PERSON IS REAL OR A FAKE!!!!!!
ADDENDUM
I keep receiving harassment on this app and report it, even sent screenshot’s to the company’s socials and emails pleading for support or even an acknowledgment of remorse from their team— NOTHING but silence. It’s no wonder tinder never made any pro-LGBTQ posts during pride month; they’re queerphobic and money hungry. Piss poor app.
ORIGINAL
I’ve dealt with an abundance of harassment on this app and have reported it countless of times and the only notices I received from Tinder were that my account was on thin ice for harassment and that I’ve been reported for impersonation, both of which could cause my account to be suspended. I sent screen shots of all the harassment and verbal abuse I’ve experienced on this app to their social media pages and all their contact emails— this was close to a month ago. Silence. They want your money. They want to make ad revenue. They don’t care about you, unless you’re a cis heterosexual white man.
We never thought we’ll be coming back on this app 4 years later to write a review, but here we are. We want to say thank you to Tinder for helping us to connect with each other. We don’t think we would’ve cross paths, but we did through this app. It marks our 3rd year of marriage as of yesterday and coming upon our 4th year being together in total. We’ve came across odd people, but don’t allow that to stop you from finding your soulmate even through an app. In life you’ll be bound to come across odd people. That’s fine, it helps you to know who to look into when finding someone you want to connect with. We didn’t think we’ll start a permanent relationship as we both were just looking to make friends. Not the hook up friends, just regular friends to chat with. He moved permanently from his home to move to my state. We build a home here. Thank you Tinder for connecting us ❤️
I would consider myself a handsome man. I’ve been told by many. As well as through my Instagram account. I have quite a large following. 7k. I only follow about 500. Yet, as a white guy on tinder…. You can forget about getting a match. You’re better off going on Instagram or just going out man. These women out here now a days are scheming and plotting. Do not take anybody serious on this app. Do not get caught up on this app and most importantly, have fun because at the end of the day, it’s not about the matches. It’s about that one match that you finally get that is worth it. Also, be aware of the area you’re in. I can imagine white men are not so popular in my area. Even though you can see a white girl argue with another white person for being white… All I can say is, be friendly and do not take this app serious.
I had tinder for barely 2 days. I have nothing rude in my bio, I’ve only matched with 1 person in the 1 day I had it, and I sent her a very respectful message. I bought platinum for $120 because the upgrades seemed worth it. Opened the app an hour later and my account is under review and I had to submit photos. That’s fine. Submitted them, says “will only take a couple minutes, grab a snack.” It’s been 12 hours, no update, still under review, and I’m worried it’s going to stay like this and I’m out $120 for no reason whatsoever. Terrible experience so far. Will change review if my problems are solved.
Update: Came back, permanently banned for breaking terms of service. I guarantee you I didn’t break a single rule. Worthless company and app.
The app was good a couple years ago. I was getting match after match with or without the paid subscription. Now that I refuse to pay $20-40 for a dating app, it seems as if I get maybe one or two matches every other day. If that, the app has significantly raised the prices to where I wouldn’t even consider paying for it when I could spend maybe $20 for the best subscription on Bumble with better results. I would not mind paying for Tinder if it went back to the old prices and it wasn’t so money hungry, but that’s very far fetched to hope for. Tinder has really went downhill in the past two years. I think I’ve downloaded Tinder for a max of 2-3 days before uninstalling it once again then the cycle repeats.
I downloaded not even 24 hours ago. Made my profile, added the photos etc. then it asks me to verify and copy the poses. I do so. It then says it will take a few minutes to review. I wait. I continue to wait 12 hours, revisiting the app every hour or so. Finally, I open the app, and it says “You have been banned from Tinder.” I literally did nothing. None of my photos were inappropriate. I didn’t even get to swipe once or interact with anyone. The apps review system is a joke and they’re shooing away customers. Not to mention, I’m an adult, not a minor, so there was literally no reason to ban me. If you’re reading this, go use Bumble. They let you use the platform and it actually works decently well.
The app’s developer just want you to pay big amount of money for a girl that at the end, she possibly won’t like you enough, the people wants to meet someone without paying a lot of money because at the end, you will spend it on anything to invite the girl somewhere, like going to the movies, going bowling, going somewhere else and then your money is gone so fast because you wasted it on this app.
Make sure to read the reviews before you download this app and download the right app
Don’t be tricked in any unfair way.
